Re: £11 Million spent - time to end?

Guest Wed 02 Sep 2015, 1:07 pm

I don't suppose the £11 millions includes the millions of Euros spent by the Portuguese since 3rd May 2007. The full total spent must be staggering.

I can't see that these amounts have been spent without a proper outcome of this case and it being taken to a criminal investigation/court.

Whenever a story breaks in the press one has to always remember 2 things.

1) any story has Clarence's pink mitts all over it, no story comes out that he isn't in control of nor that he has not sought to want publishing.

2) there is always an angle that the Team want to pursue in the propaganda they have published.

So bearing these two commandments in mind what could be the motives behind this story?

Why would the McCann's want the investigation to end? Why would they seek to have it shut down if there was a palpable chance that an abductor could be caught.

One can only assume that the only reason the Team could want it shutting it down is because it isn't going in the direction they want it to and indeed are getting a little nervous as a consequence.

I recall that blacksmith earlier this year gave tangible evidence that the Team were not being kept informed or in the loop.

Perhaps they have had enough know and are trying to build public opinion to shut it down now.

Or perhaps things behind the scene are getting deeply serious for them because to have this story published is a huge risk.

If we can see that it makes no sense for an innocent couple to want the investigation shelved, can you imagine the suspicion it will raise in New Scotland Yard?

Because I bet a pound to a penny the detectives of operation grange must surely be asking the same question:

"Why would the McCann's want the investigation into their daughter shelved with no perpetrator caught and when the only pressure to shut it down is coming from the couples own press spokesman".

Hum.... Very interesting!

Yeah, be interesting to find out the total cost.

Double the 11 mill at least.

Good post me. No not me, you... Err...

I think it's got to the stage now that everyone and anyone who is or has been complicit with this saga, is absolutely desperate to get it all shut down. And as you say, get the public on side in agreement.

Certain people are most definitely getting nervous.

I agree Mo - it`s the McCanns wanting it shut down - and that`s the end of that - they can sail happily into the sunset with their ill gotten gains - case closed - end of.

An average of £2,415 is spent on a missing child investigation

This quote from the news article got me thinking.

They are trying to play up the expense using the average cost of missing children who are, on the whole, found pretty quickly but a more accurate comparison would be to compare the cost with a large complicated investigation.

http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/metropolitan-police-has-spent-£335m-excluding-legal-fees-investigating-journalists-new-figures-show

As at 30 September 2014:

- Operation Weeting cost £19.2 million,

- Operation Elveden cost £11.3 million,

- Operation Tuleta cost £3 million

The cost of investigating naughty journalists and giving out a few slapped wrists was £33.5 million.

Perhaps these newspapers ought to print articles stating that if their journalists had behaved legally, morally and ethically, the police would have more cash to spend finding missing children and dealing with major crimes.

Nonsense and garbage as per.

What is far more interesting is that so many Gonzo fans want the Yard investigation to be halted. Why? What are they scared of?

This Ó'Connor suggests that SY are chasing sightings all over the world. He can't mean that as true.

Don't like my name being associated with any accusation that you're trying to imply...

Thanks.

bb1 thinks that instructions have gone around the hate sites - I disagree that we are a hate site but anyway - so that must mean that there is a secret mastermind issuing instructions.

I have never had any instructions secret or otherwise from anyone on this site so I was feeling neglected Sad

Pinkys phone off the hook then...

The Leicester Mercury called Clarence Mitchell, the McCann's spokesman to ask if he wishes to make any comment on their behalf but so far has not received a reply.

Hellsbells Wed 02 Sep 2015, 4:42 pm

hello everyone, my first post and according to the express she is dead.

It is being carried out by the Met even though Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry live in Rothley, Leicestershire, because of Scotland Yard's expertise in investigating complex murder cases. Shocked

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/602422/Madeleine-McCann-Metropolitan-Police-Operation-Grange-arrests

Andrew Wed 02 Sep 2015, 4:47 pm

Good spot, hellbells. And welcome.

Yep, it certainly is complex alright.

I believe the end is firmly in sight now.

Not long.

Hellsbells Wed 02 Sep 2015, 5:03 pm

the important thing is that O'Connor's comments have confirmed the Scotland Yard investigation really is going on and you don't have to be a genius to realise they aren't wasting 31 people on checking out dubious sightings around the world.
despite what he is quoted as saying.

bluebell Wed 02 Sep 2015, 5:21 pm

I get a distinct sense of deja-vu.

Been here before haven't we, I really hope something is up that worries them. They have been so silent for ages (since KM's bike ride) then suddenly it's all go, go, go.

I don't know this O'Conner but over the last several years I have learned some people will sell their soul for cash. Suspect

The end for any chance of justice is what I`m thinking ATM. Sorry to be such a pessimist.

Châtelaine Wed 02 Sep 2015, 6:52 pm

I'm an optimist.
And I believe the dogs.
I guess the specialists [MET police OG & PJ] do too.
It all sounds like the end game right now...

Well, one can hope & dream.
IF I were a police officer, I would determine the poor little one is dead. And they know it.
And they may be close whilst dissecting all contradictory statements by her parents [and their friends & their family] ....

May they all be forgiven for theirs sins, BUT brought to justice.

IMO & all that jazz.
